Are there ANY new graphical enhancements this year?

Re: Are there ANY new graphical enhancements this year?

I played on both PS5 and XSX substantially last year for 21. Xbox 100% ran faster and was a consistent 60fps. Ps5 was not. There was a bit of a delay that I noticed and tested each time on PS5 in comparison.

It was enough that if I went from XSX to PS5 I would be late on everything, and switching to xbox I would be early on everything. Definitely noticeable.

Digital Foundry tested the game on every console available and showed that none of them ran at a rock solid 60fps and that PS5 didn't dip below 60fps as bad as the Series X.

I’ve read that ‘21 didn’t run as smooth on XBOX SERIES S/X as it did on PS5. Can the game be exceed 60FPS on either NG console or is it capped at 60 no matter what settings?

I never had any issues on my Series X with 21.

It did run like absolute dog**** on my Xbox One.

Re: Are there ANY new graphical enhancements this year?

Never bought '21, first time I never bought the newest version, have a PS5 now, would think I would be "blown away" by the graphics difference between the PS4 and PS5, but by my reading, my expectations aren't that high. Looking forward to checking out the stadium creator, assume the engine speed is a bit quicker as to load times, and want to see how good the rosters are, read there are no fake players anymore? Believe it when I see it, not having to wait for the amazing created rosters, which I've always still had to do days of editing probably hasn't ended yet, lol. Have fun everybody.

What about the series S? Any major noticeable difference?

I think they sacrifice graphics for better framerate, basically.

The grass in Mlb the show looks extremely low textures and like a bad carpet.

To be fair…… 2K is portraying a lot less than The Show……. Grass and outdoor stadiums with 40k people are probably more of a job than a 90 ft court with 15k people in the stands indoors, although I agree 2K does a great job with graphics

The game is never showing all those fans at once. I think the show’s engine is probably outdated if it can’t run at a locked 60fps all the time.

A lot of pitching motions, in particular, look really herky-jerky and dated.

this has been *THE* problem for me for the show for more than a decade. the MLB 2K games had much better pitching motion animations. every time a new show game comes out i spend lots of time editing pitcher deliveries.

Anyone else think the dirt and grass textures have been improved? It looks a lot better to me than last year, as does the daytime lighting. Lighting during 4pm games looks so much better imo, and shadows on players look more realistic as well. Its not the overhaul Ive been asking for but there are some small graphical that do add up to a pretty solid looking game on PS5.

As someone who has harped on the graphics and how outdated they were The Show 22 looks pretty damn good. I think it’s all a lighting adjustment. Textures appear the same.

No, the grass and dirt is exactly the same, in some stadiums it just looks better than others. Some dirt has okay textures while others are really flat/carpet looking…and don’t get me started on those “bread crums” what was an extra for the PS4 pro years ago. Unfortunately now on the PS5 we haven’t gotten any progress in that regard.

Spent about four hours with this puppy. Vibing me like a 95/100 type situation, hoping the internal logic changes to franchise pan out.

Graphics, honestly the birds look better than anything else. Some decent texture upgrades here and there but I’d say it looks 98% or so the same.

Still getting some aliasing but not much.

I think they made a big mistake giving so much attention to the crowd over the years. All those 3D models with individual behaviors was really ambitious at the time, but looking back all it did was tank the framerate for five years.

I mention that because really the game looks pretty good except for basically all the humans. The crowd looks pretty bad and the players look pretty bad. (Bad is relative here, obviously. They’re just awfully last-gen-looking, is all I mean.)

The game really needs a more advanced lighting engine.

This is my number one graphical gripe. No, I don't think the grass textures look better. I think they look super dated. If they'd update that, at least for PS5 it would make the most significant difference in terms of bang for their buck.
